The last rain we had In this vlcln itywas in the early morning of Suiv day, June 29. It was a gentle, soaking rain. More is neoded. Crops are suf fering. Rev.

W. K. Welman is highly praised for his Fourth of July oration. It was said to be simply grand. But if praise only is received it will not buy his bread and butter.

Mrs. J. W. Vernon not any better. Hopes of her recovery are doubtful.

Her many friends extend heartfelt sympathy. Her son Bensou and wife spent the latter part of the week with her, Frank Vernon accompanied his cousin, Miss Loula Moore, as far as Balleyvllle to-day (July 10).

that the editor is envious of the ladies' mother Hubbards this sultry weather, with the Fahrenheit ranging from 90 to 110. He suggests that the ladies in vent a daddy Hubbard for the men. He will no doubt give a premium to the one who succeeds best. All thos? who actually subscribed for the Independent and have re ceived it tor three mouths will please remit for same before ordeiing it discontinued. Those accepting sample copies for same length of time would confer an act of courtesy by doing the same.

But to those who are taking it in good faith it is all right. We will take it as a guarantee you are a subscriber. From henceforth we will not send out more than two or three sam ple copies, which will be a sufficient number for you to know whether you want the paper or not. We hope yon will eubscribe and remit at your earli est convenience. It takes money to run a newspaper.

We must have an understanding with each other in order to get our business on a solid basis. No doubtr we have left out some news this week that should be in, but we have been away since the second; did not arrive home until Wednesday moxuing, since which time tne editor has bean ill, and has been unable to gither the new. He Is on the mend, however. We spent the past week in the southwest portion of Iowa, at Farmgut, Fremont county, visiting with a sister of the editress. We listened to a $50 oration the Fourth, and was highly entertained meet1 03 old friends.

Farragut used to be our place of residence ten years ago. It has grown to be a beautliul litt'e town. The trees have grown till borne of the streets are completely shaded. It has improved greatly since a visit there four years ago. It suggested to our nrnds the possibil'ties of Corniugif people would lake an interest In planting Lees.

Let as remember to do this next spring aud beautify our town. We traveled over the Missouri Pacific via Atchison and Nebraska City. WTe found the employes kind a ad obliging, sparing no pains to make passengers comfortable. Crops look well, but are being badly scorched by recent hot winds. They sadly need raia.

We visHed the blind asylum at Nebraska 1 City. At some future time we may tell you more about it. AUCTION. Messrs. Munsell Pickett will attend all auction sales as auctioneers.

In tho month of July. 1880, theschoon' or Swallow, recently overhauled and made ready for a scientific exploration of tho Gulf of Gascony, following the lino or coast which borders the great depths, commenced the first attempts at dredging tho bottom at a depth of 500 meters. On tho second day our rope scaffold' lngs and dredge were lot down under a cloudy sky and into a muddy sea. The baromotcr did not indicate anything abnormal, still the aspect of a sudden cloud, forming rapidly in tho west-south west in tho course of the operation. seemed sufficiently threatening to cause us to postpono the drawing up of the dredge until the passage of that inoppor tune danger.

It was necessary to shorten sail with tho utmost rapidity in order to avoid too great a traction on the cable, the breaking of which would have caused the loss of our only doep sea dredge. The violence of such a squall not permitting the pxposure pf any ordinary sail we found we would only bo able to carry the jib, and that only if tho space before us was clear. I terminated these arrangements won- Ing whether we were going to lose our principal implement when the first puffs or wind which preceded a gale of gathering intensity struck us powerfully, careening the schooner to. the larboard. A dust of water was raised by the first puffs or the squall from the waves which were almost instantly formed, and this joined the stinging whips of an icy tor rent of rain and hail and lashed tho sea to a orystallino whiteness which reflected the brilliance of a meteor.

The crew, sheltered from the wind by the lee bulwarks, awaited in silence an order for action there where it should be most necessary. But at the supreme moment of such a cataclysm which sweeps all, which bruises faces, stifles voices, when tho water has stiffened the cordage and sails, when the vessel under bare poles crouches and quivers under the anger of the tempest, regular work is out of the question and the helmsman is the only ono who pursues any active labor, but the schooner, held by the weight of the dredge which she drags, does not obey the helm with her usual readiness. After an hour of fierce rage the thick masses of cloud are suddenly broken, and behind them hangs a thin curtain of vapor which is dissipated in a few minutes and the blue of heaven reappears. Soon the squall hiding tho opposite horizon glides away from us by a mys terious power and no trace is left on the mobile sea to betray its passage. The schooner anchors and hoists one by one her sails, whose folds as they open shed cascades of water which have accumulated there, and soon the soaked garments of tho crew float, or are spread out to dry, and the wind which blows now with kind benevolence on those multicolored lines of tricots, sabots, tarpaulins, caps and shirts seems to impose a vulgar labor upon itself which so recently had threatened their lives.

Prince of Monaco in Sunny Hour. Points About the Hair Brush. There is another consideration in connection with the use of the hairbrush, which, though it may scarcely need mention, should not be overlooked. The brush should be kept clean. It gives ono a shudder to see tho brushes and combs that are sometimes supplied at places of public resort.

No one should ever think of using a public hair brush any more than a public tooth brush, unless it becomes a matter of absolute necessity; but the fact remains that the individual article requires to be properly cared for, else it becon.es an instrument of danger rather than a delight. If the case is not very aggravated the bristles may be washed in lukewarm water, to which a few drops of ammonia can be added. This will clear away the accumulated dust and dirt as by magic. The bristles can be rinsed in pure water and allowed to dry in an airy place; the brush should not be exposed to the sun, nor should the back of it be wet at any time. Soda and soap soften the bristles, and if the back of the brush be of ivory it will lurn yellow by their application.

For general use it is better economy to buy a cheap brush, and, after using it for a reasonable time, throw it into the fire and start afresh. Good Housekeeping. Made Wealthy by a Whipping, John Jame3 Mago, a millionaire who lives nine months of the year in Paris, is the hero of a curious story. It is related of him that fifteen years ago he was British vice consul at San Jose, Guatemala, and a poor man. Ono day a native commandant, who was running the port, ordered that he be given 100 lashes for some fancied insult.

The vice consul was lashed accordingly. Later the British government stepped in and ordered that Mago be paid $.500 for every lash. Guatemala was glad enough to pay the money, which made the vice consul a comparatively rich man. Having more ready money than any one else in the country, President Barrios entered into partnership with him. Mago became a large coffee planter and dealer and also was given exclusive franchises for building docks in the ports, out of which he made a great deal of money.

His fortune is now at $5,000,000. New York World. When Yon Are In Europe. In traveling on the continent get Be-daeker's guide books. Look up the hotels, and if intending to stop at any place for several days write ahead for terms.

The charge for lights is fifty cents a night for each person, and a dozen candles cost but twenty cente. Soap is always an extra except in England.

Tom O'Neil Iwlieves that dignity hould govern everything in connection with the mayor's office, and he is bound to see the idea carried out no matter what it costs. That it does cost money Tom found out a few days ago when a tramp came in and inquired for the mayor.

Tom replied that he was not in. "When will he be in?" next asked the tramp. "I can't tell you," said Tom, "but I represent him! what can I do for you?" "Well, you are just as good," said the man. "I want ten cents to get some coffee and bread with; I am hungry.V Tom felt that here was a chance to sustain the dignity of his own ami his superior's position, besides, he felt rather pleased a. i the remark of the tramp that he was "just as good." He therefore took the man out to a restaurant, and, not to appear stingy, he banded him a bill fare and told him to order what he "wanted, thinking he might get stuck for fifteen cents, or perhaps twenty.

He sat down at a table and began looking over a newspaper wldle his guest ordered. Presently the dishes came, and a few minutes later the waiter brought Tom a check; it was for sixty- five cents. Rather amused at the man's nerve he went over to ask him if he wanted anything more, and with perfect coolness Mr. Man said "No," and believed he had all he wanted. Tom went to the cashier and paid' the check, and as he was leaving his guest shouted out to him: "I'll see vou aeain." "All riirht." answered Tom, but outside he vowed the man would not see him again if he could see the man first.

Chicago Herald. Utiles for Care of the Brap. First, systematic exercise and regular employment. The brain stands most abuse of any organ in the body. Its best tonic and stimulant is success.

The worst and most depressing thing to it is failure. The most injurious effects come by using stimulants in early life; young people should use no liquor, tea or any thing of this sort. They act mostly on the brain and injure its growth very ma terially. Abundance of sleep is necessary. I am inclined to think eight hours is not more than enough.

Sleep is the time of relatively lowered expenditure and increased repair -Learn to think straight and allow no morbid fancies to remain in your mind. They soon get an obstinate foothold and ore hard to remove and may make your whole life un happy. Dr. M. L.

Holbrook. Treatment of Writer's Cramp. Dr. Vigouroux describes a method oi treating writer's cramp practiced with much success by Herr Wolff, a cali- grapher of Frankfort. The essentials oi the method are gymnastics and massage of the affected muscles.

The patient has to execute thrice a day a long series tu abrupt movemonts of the arms and hands. The muscles are then extended and even put on the stretch by the operator or the patient himself, till fatigue owrcomes the tendency to spasm. Massage, friction and slappiny are also persistently used, and writing movements practiced so soon as the diminished cramp allows. It should be added that the treatment is painless.

Nature's Memorials to a Murdered Man. For seventy odd yeais three stocks of a plant which grows nowhere else in the state of New York, and which seems to be generally unknown, have sprung up every season, blossomed and gone to seed beside the old state road near Avon, N. Y. A remarkable fact conaected with this botanical curiosity is the fact that, although thousands of seeds have ripened on the spot they have never increased be yond tne original three stocks, nor will the seeds grow when given every care and attention. The spot whei iihey grow marks the place where John Alexander, an American soldier, was killed during th war of 1812.
